Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera was arrested in Florida Wednesday night on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and two counts of resisting an officer without violence.

He was booked into the St. Lucie County Jail at 12:20 a.m. today and released at 7:45 a.m. after posting $1,350 bond, according to information provided by Mark Weinberg from the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office.

In an arrest affidavit, deputies said Cabrera repeated “Do you know who I am, you don’t know anything about my problems.” Cabrera then picked up a bottle of James Buchanan’s Scotch whiskey and started drinking, according to the report.

When asked to get into a patrol vehicle, police say Cabrera used an expletive. Police say he didn’t comply with several orders to get into the patrol vehicle. The arresting deputy said he lifted Cabrera’s left hand to gain pain compliance and Cabrera then “pushed off the vehicle into me,” according to the report.

Edit: drinking during your DUI arrest is generally not a good thing.

3. ROFL...

actually, I did think about the Delay mugshot when posting that pic of Cabrera.

Maybe media consultants tell offenders to smile if they get arrested, so that they don't end up looking like Nick Nolte or James Brown :rofl:

5. He's not that smart

My county's police don't like celebrities too much. David Cassidy was arrested here as well last year:
